AWC- December 2016- 2 Taiwan teams, Korea, Japan, China, Europe (maybe a specific NA team)- Could be 2-3 teams from each region like 2015 (unconfirmed)- Japan is using the same A-Point format as 2015 (japan link above, 1475)- Korea is using the same as last year, KCCS for nominal points, LAN-events for big points- Taiwan us not using the AP system but relying on their Summer/August AEL

AAC- AAC was cancelled. No one is sure how this will effect the format of other competitions.- With AAC cancelled it enables AIC a consistent schedule

This thread will be replaced with an AIC thread once it is formally announced in any region. Topic is open for discussion, speculation, and further information gathering.
